Scotland's New Writing Theatre

manipulate Visual Theatre Festival 2013

We're delighted to announce the launch of the 2013
manipulate visual theatre programme. Now in its sixth
year, the festival of innovative theatre, puppetry, animation and
film is now open for booking.

Presented with Puppet Animation
Scotland, this cutting-edge visual theatre festival -
running 4-16 February 2013 - is a truly international affair. Work
is brought to you from practitioners based in Estonia, Finland,
Israel, the Netherlands, Russia, USA, along with home grown artists
from the UK.

The 2013 festival, presented in the Traverse's 50th
year, is the most ambitious yet. Showcasing epic storytelling and
exploring the future of puppetry and animation in the digital age,
the work on offer spans puppetry, object theatre, animation and
film.

Highlights include Yael Rasooly's Papercut- a charming show that transforms
the style of black and white cinema into a low-tech universe of
paper cut-outs and animated cult classic from The Brothers
QuayThe Piano Tuners of
Earthquakes. We've got the return of
Vox Motus' 2009 Festival hit Slick,
and the critically acclaimed story of Hitler and his dog, Schiklegruber…Alias
Adolf Hitler. Cloud Eye Control bring us
interactive media and live performance, and Finland's
TIP-Connection bring us To The End of
Love (pictured). For the film buffs, we have a
programme of shorts by international artists and
award-winning work from graduates of Edinburgh College of Art. And
there's plenty more - the festival is jam-packed with the freshest,
most innovative visual theatre from around the world. Explore the
full programme here.
